HE is showing no signs of slowing down in his retirement.
Rod Stewart is hitting the road next June for an eight-date tour, including two gigs in Scotland, to mark the release of a new studio album.
The 70-year-old rocker will take on two Scottish dates on his UK tour - performing at Kilmarnock's Rugby Park and at Inverness Caledonian Thistle's Tulloch Caledonian Stadium.
Jim Mann, chairman of Kilmarnock Football Club, said: “We are thrilled to be able to host an event featuring such a world superstar as Rod Stewart.
"There will be great excitement amongst his many fans resident locally that they will be able to see and hear him in person, on stage at Rugby Park.
“It is a great pleasure to be able to attract stars such as Rod to our venue here in Kilmarnock and we are looking forward to working with all the local support agencies to make sure that it's a big success.”
Stewart has just completed his Hyde Park Radio 2 show where he played to more than 50,000 people.
New album Another Country is released on October 30 and follows on from 2012’s Time, which entered the UK Albums Chart at the number one slot.
Caley Thistle chairman Kenny Cameron has welcomed the announcement of Rod Stewart’s return to the Tulloch Caledonian Stadium as part of his UK tour.
"Having the opportunity to welcome Rod back to Inverness following the huge success he was last time round is a great privilege for the club,” Mr Cameron said.
“Having been part of the team who brought Rod to Inverness we are all looking forward to another excellent event and assisting Cuffe and Taylor in every way possible to ensure a repeat of that excellent night in July 2010.”
Tickets for the show, from www.ticketline.co.uk, go on sale from 9am on October 2 while pre-sale and fan club tickets will go on sale 9am Wednesday September 30.
